Understanding GVWR
I'm thinking of getting the Nash 24M, which has a Dry weight of 6023 lbs, and a GVWR of 9200 lbs. Hitch weight of 595lbs. So 3177 lbs of payload is a lot.
If i loaded it up to reach close to that GVWR then I couldn't safely tow it, but I dont feel as if I can ever realistically load over 3000 lbs into my trailer. It's only going to be me living in it and I don't have that many things. Is it still safe to tow? My vehicle has a towing capacity of 9200 lbs and my payload on my truck is 1270lbs. So 200(my weight) + 595(tongue weight) + 100(wdm hitch) = 895. 1270-895 = 375 lbs of available cargo.
Did I do that right? And is 375 lbs enough for cargo? I don't plan on driving it a lot. Mostly going to be at an RV park living there. Also, that cargo will only be a concern when towing. I can manage only having 375 lbs of cargo when towing.
Please educate me if it doesn't seem safe for my truck.
